As suggested by Cecily and with Lucinda's blessing ...
One Sheet thrifty swap with a Birthday theme. Due date May 30th (kept it same as ATC due date to help save on postage, but you do not need to join that swap to be in this one)
Maximum participants 7 (so you would send in 6)
Regular 1 sheet thrifty swap guidelines with the added element of a Birthday theme. You do not have to have each piece you make have something "Birthday" on it, but together as a LO it should look "Birthday-ish". KWIM? Make whatever you want from one sheet of Patterned paper (you may add some solid cardstock but keep it minimal- the focus is on the 1 sheet) Use the swap guidelines and samples for ideas of individual items. there are also samples of 1 sheet thrifty swaps. All items should be embellished at least twice. Sewing, inking, buttons etc. Bag each participants items separately (so you would have 6 bags) and place in bag a piece of paper with your name or message board name. You do not need to use 6 sheets of the same paper. The idea is to try and use your stash.
Please feel free to ask any questions here or PM me.
Reminder- If you sign-up by March 31st, you will receive 5.00 in your auction account for the April auction.
Thanks for considering

I know, I know - we are to use our stash, but really? I went to Jo Anns (dd needs some simple skirts) Walked in the front door Heading towards fabric Not even looking at scrappy stuff (shock - I know) but, there it is sitting out in the open a whole table of clearance dcwv pads of paper plus a coupon for another 25% off the marked down prices and one was birthday!!!!! Now you tell me - who could resist I did put the other 7 I thought about buying back - yep - one hurdle crossed.
